A WWE superstar is calling out Jade Cargill for not being a fighting champion. 

Jade Cargill ended Tiffany Stratton’s 10-month reign as the WWE Women’s Champion at the November 1st edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event.

Since winning the WWE Women’s Championship for the first time in her career, Jade Cargill has defended the gold…zero times.

While Cargill has beaten the likes of Alba Fyre and B-Fab on SmackDown in non-title matches since then, she has also defended the title at live events, the fact that she hasn’t defended the WWE Women’s Title has upset fans.

Cargill was at ringside for SmackDown in London as Jordynne Grace easily beat Chelsea Green in about five minutes. After the match, Cargill went on the apron to confront Grace. That led to Green accidentally knocking Cargill off the apron to the floor after Grace moved out of the way. Grace posed with the WWE Women’s Title before tossing it onto Cargill on the floor.

On social media, Jordynne Grace took a shot at Cargill’s lack of title defenses.

Someone told her “just sit there and look pretty” and she said say no more 75 days – 0 defenses

Ouch.

Jade Cargill Getting Busted Open In A Match Upset Triple H

During a WWE YouTube video with legendary actors Ben Affleck & Matt Damon, Jade Cargill talked about when her head was cut open during a match, and she was trying to pose for the camera, but WWE’s boss, Triple H, was shouting that they can’t show her bloody face.

You can’t see it right now, but I have my face was split open a couple weeks ago and we had to improvise. I was gonna actually get on the announcer’s table and like beat my chest like King Kong and then it happened. The entire arena in unison, was like ‘Ohh.’

You have to improvise and just keep on going and follow through. It’s insane. You can’t hide. I had probably somebody with their camera right in my eye the entire time.

I looked into the camera and I roar it like a lion, but Triple H was like, ‘Get that camera off her! Get it off! We have sponsors, you can’t show that we have kids at home.’
